MASSIVE OPEN ONLINE COURSE (MOOC) funded by the ERC


2025 - 2026 (1 year)

[Photo follows]


STUDIOBLENDED is currently working on the realisation of an impactful MOOC  for an institute for capacity development within a European University (March 2025 - March 2026). The challenge of this client is transforming the scope of the 4 year research program, into a scope for a playful, light yet superintersting learning journey (9 studyhours) and develop it into a succesful MOOC. 

MOOCs combine the reputational factor of outstanding scientific research with an extremely successful multimedia format, and can disseminate the programs’ outcomes and outputs to learners worldwide. As part of our advisory and training work, we set up several intensive Design Studio’s to arrive at the technical curriculum design. From there, a design journey with the client, through co-creation, leads to the eventual end product.


European funded program under the European Research Council (ERC).

WORKSHOP ‘BIG IDEAS’ to kick-off the new academic year


2024

STUDIOBLENDED joined the academic teaching team of MSc Metropolitan Analysis Design and Engineering (MADE) at the Amsterdam Institute for Metropolitan Studies (AMS) to kick-off the new academic year. MSc MADE was founded some 8 years ago. How can it remain relevant and cutting-edge well into the coming years? This is the authentic question of the program director.

Tikvah Breimer (MSc MAEd MSc) delivered a keynote coupled by a group excercise around strategizing and envisioning 'big ideas' in the Master's curriculum - in order to be equipped to simplify and innovate.

The result of the workshop: The teaching team becomes aligned around a shared understanding of the big ideas of the AMS/MADE educational program - and how these evolve over time. The teaching team can take this design forward into futher time-resilient and innovative educational design and development.

“It was unexpected. Instead of themes we would have grouped in a very concrete manner, it was all much more layered and strategic. Much more academic than I expected - for the good. We identified undercurrents, hypes and baselines and all in all created much more depth.

It was really useful to look at our program like this - the graphical output we received, shows rising and declining lines that require attention - which words/concepts are we going to use, and which aspects do we need to adjust in the background? Merely producing some themes with the team would have been irrelevant to me - what we did now, truly gets us further in the coming year as we reimagine the program. I got what i needed.”

STUDIOBLENDED was invited to partner up in the Institute for Water Education (IHE-Delft)/Urban Design Climate Workshop (UDCW) - to strenghten the delivery of the workshop. The challenge was to meaningfuly include the Master students, into the larger mutiplyer event.

The session led by Tikvah Breimer (MSc MAEd MSc), created a playground - a Japanese Future Design Experiment - in which the 20 Master level students, entered into a dialogue with imaginary future generations of students to together design an interdisciplinary curriculum of the future for flood risk in Rotterdam.

The output - the future curriculum design - was first created hands-on, on the wall, and then taken in digital form into the mutiplyer event. This event centered on imagination at work - design thinking for Climate Action.

The outcome is future literacy, adaptability, exploratory thinking (see Joint Research Centre 2022, the European Sustainability Competence Framework), and better grasping paradigm shifts, the X-curve for transition - and youth voice.

RE-DESIGN OF A COURSE for capacity development


2025

STUDIOBLENDED came alongside the course coordinator of the longest running short course at IHS/Erasmus University in its 105th edition. It went from being a 6 months course, to a 3 months and this year even a 5 weeks course for the first time. The problem of this client? Overload in the curriculum and schedule, it’s simply too much! Packed.

Tikvah Breimer (MSc MAEd MSc) gave advice on the simplification of the content, the modular approach, and on the schedule. There was special attention for the lecturers, as this took the lionshare of the time and budget. And equally, there was attention for the human resilience of the course coordinator.

Result: The course coordinator and lecturers are enabled to teach with clarity, doing less so that participants learn more. The coordinator gains insight and skill in how to effectively interact with lecturers on how their session fits within a certian module and the overall body of knowledge of the course. Through that the coordinator is equipped in how to maximize the impact of the lectures on the learning curve of the participants.

So often, course coordinators are seen as just administrative and logistic coordinators, handling all the participants, schedules, lecturers, excursions, solving issues etc.

After 6 years of running the same course as a coordinator, I felt I was getting weary, and wondered: is there anything fresh and new, that I myself can still learn?

By starting to work with the Studio’s open-building framework for the big ideas of the course – and communicating with clarity to each and every lecturer which learning objectives I wanted them to focus on in their sessions – suddenly I was back firmly in the content seat. I am now the CEO of this course: advising the lecturers, how their session contribute to the whole of the body of knowledge of the course. I feel so much more acknowledged as a course coordinator that gives direction to the content of the course, and receive very positive reactions from all involved.


Along the way, Tikvah advised and equipped me how to simplify the course, by doing less actually, so that participants learn more – and it actually set free significant new budget.

WORKSHOP IN BLENDED TEACHING DESIGN at the honours college Utrecht



2022

Photo: Breimer. Blended workshop on blended teaching design.


STUDIOBLENDED was invited by a dean and professor in economics of an interdisciplinary faculty, to create an impactful tailor-made workshop on blended education. The challenge of this client, was that she sensed emotions such as fear and frustration amongst the teaching staff, when it came to the need to go ‘blended’, as the world opened up after the lockdowns of the Pandemic. Negative experiences with emergency education online reinforced the hesitation.

For this client, we proposed a ‘blended experience’ for the teaching staff, including a podcast and a playful face to face design session. The session took a surprising angle: it centered on the absolute premium time that face to face has become - and from there, teachers were challenged to re-design the online learning journey, with the aim actually, of optimising the face to face time.

To amplify the sustainability of the workshop, we collaborated with the existing teaching academy - Educate-it, so that our work is complementary and teachers know where to find experts within the institution who can invigorate their designs with technology. The follow-up on the blended experience is also in the deep listening, dialogues and exchanges that follow in the team.

‘I always felt ‘blended’ was like something superimposed on us with quite some pressure. But the workshop made me realise, that I was confusing ‘hybrid’ and ‘blended’, and i became aware of just how biased I had entered the workshop and I had many eye openers. I still wonder: isn’t blended just a modern term, for what we ideally did anyway as teachers? Tell students to come prepared to class? I definatly hope to keep stimulating students to also read, not just watch videos. 

The audio podcast [transcript] that we received prior to the workshop, as a flipping the classroom experience, caught my attention, I was fascinated by the content and it was new to me to listen instead of read. It had some nice twists that came unexpected to me.’

‘We approached you (STUDIOBLENDED) especially because next to that being a chance to bring some innovative approach to our proposal, I noticed that you have a background aligned with what is needed by the project: the project is focused on three main capacity building component to be implemented: on the job, through an on line/remote assistance, and through a number of “classic” modular courses to be implemented in person.

It is in particular for the secondo component that I was thinking to involve your studio and see how we can offer and design something different to be just available to answer questions on a social network.’

‘I had the opportunity to work with Tikvah in May 2021 when I was working for UN-Habitat as legal specialist. I was designing a capacity development programme on policy and legal drafting for the Ministry of Urban Planning and Housing of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Tikvah provided pro bono advice on how to develop a blended programme for the Ministry blending in-country sessions with on line and off-line activities.

It was extremely useful and easy to work with her. Tikvah helped me appreciate the opportunities blended trainings can offer to overcome the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic and improve the impact of capacity building activities. She quickly understood the programme needs and challenges and proposed workable solutions.’

During lockdowns, we piloted twice, our ‘resilience’ course - in a bichronous way. ‘Bichronous’ is characterised by the thoughtful integration of asynchronous (remote/online, self-paced) and synchronous (real time) teaching and learning.

This Brazilian professor from Sao Paulo was challenged in the delivery of her academic courses remotely during the lockdowns. The challenge was two sides of the same coin: her own human resilience, and the technical resilience of the curriculum design. Tikvah trained her in our second pilot with the resilience course for 10 weeks, remotely (studyload 4 hrs/week). She invigorated the professor with a pedagogical lens to technology as well.

“I took the resilience course, and now deliver the actual course that I designed during the training (summer in Europe, 2021).

Suddenly I sense I dare to improvise with the technical and pedagogical formats the resilience course trained me in. The capacity I developed to design a technically resilient course, now helps me so much to be focused on where I’m going with the teaching.

Students start to reach much higher levels already halfway the semester. They start thanking me, that the class was wonderful, it’s so encouraging, even if everything is still on distance. When the parents are happy – the children are happy. It’s the same with teachers!

I feel secure the material is solid and lasting, so I can build on it, incrementally. I dare to learn by doing, everything you (Tikvah) said is true – I’m calmer, more self-confident, and daring to experiment more. The structured approach the course brought, now brings me deep excitement to keep growing and learning myself too, not just students. It’s so rewarding.

You are so right we don’t need more heavy and extensive technology for excellent higher education, we need excellent technique and pedagogy, resilience. The course was a gift from heaven. I want you to train our entire team of professors!”

TRAINING AS A PRODUCT WITH AN OPEN BUILDING FRAMEWORK


As early as 2013, the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS) of Erasmus University Rotterdam, was interested in how to approach their capacity development trainings as a product.

Upon invitation by the head of Education, Tikvah Breimer (MSc MAEd MSc) (then staff member) delivers a proposal called ‘Training as a product - A suggestion’.

With open building Tikvah Breimer (MSc MAEd MSc) draws heavily from her Master thesis on open building and incremental housing in architecture (see Erasmus University repository, cum laude).

The proposal includes a strong element of a robust curriculum that stands the test of time - by design, through a technical ‘fit for purpose framework’. It is also completely modular.

The proposal dates back to 2014, but is still decade strong and relevant today, and resonates in all our technical and modular design. It’s simply how we visualise good education.
